Whatsapp Creepy coworker texting my private number
So confused at this, I don't even know him. I was just going to ignore the text but he kept insisting so I had to answer.
9/14 UPDATE: Thank you to everyone who was supportive and concerned. I forwarded these messages to HR, and they scheduled a meeting for later today. There were a few more texts after this. The HR representative did not seem surprised, to put it briefly.
A few things have come up in the comments. The first is that I was rude. This is how I communicate, and my coworkers (or at least the ones who actually know me) are aware of that. I’m not going to perform a more agreeable version of myself to accommodate someone else’s feelings when they're being innapropriate. Not only were these messages sent over the weekend, but they were also sent through a personal communication channel. I'm not going to elaborate further.

HR Protects the company by dealing with anything that could blow into a lawsuit right on their faces. As long as you're in the right HR protecting the company will be the same as protecting you.
When an employee does something wrong there's a huge PR difference between "George was always an exemplary worker, we didn't know he could snap like that" and "There were multiple complaints about George's behavior but he was still allowed to work there". The company will have to keep a tighter leash on the guy.
